[edit] Hyde Park

What is the source for the statement that the governor declared the area Hyde Park? It sounds to me like a mistake, and should say Moore Park. JPD (talk) 18:05, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree! When I saw this I thought it should be Moore Park, but haven't go the the research to substantiate it. Anubis1975 20:26, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

It would appear to come from here, I think it's just meant as a preamble to the founding of the SCG. Hyde Park probably was the site of the first cricket ground, rather than any specifically to do with the SCG.

This says that the area currently known as Hyde Park was set aside by Macquarie for cricket and other sports. It has nothing to do with the current location of the SCG and Moore Park, except as a preamble for where the colonists used to play sport. I'm editing the article to reflect this. -dmmaus 02:12, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
